| Popis: | The attitude of a class and the teacher toward their outdoor work should be that they are going out to have a pleasant time together, to enjoy the air and sunshine and the beauty of nature, and to learn something of her secrets. The teacher need not fear that the children will discover that he is not omniscient; they probably have found that out already. Nature is so large that the most experienced naturalists know only a little. I am constantly learning from my students and with my students; this would no doubt be the case if they were only half as old as they are. I believe that the right attitude will do much to overcome the difficulty of discipline. If each student feels that he and the teacher and all the rest are going out to see and learn and understand, that he can tell, with regard to something they will see, what others in the class do not yet know, or that he can find what others have not found, his energy can easily be directed along useful lines. Some suggestions for outdoor instruction may be given by referring to recent experiences at Bowling Green, Ohio, but the successful teacher will adapt his methods and the selection of material for outdoor study to the capacity of the pupils and the limitations of the environment. |
